Has BIA considered proposing and/or supporting the establishment of a single database for MMIW cases?

Will the information or notes collected from this listening session be made public?

It is imperative that we continue to work in partnership and create safe communities and arrest the trend of issues plaguing our Native communities.

I think it is interesting that that is the first thing they did to really hone their skills as a bureau.

I attended the Senate's oversight hearing on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. That was back in December.

The U.S. Government has a trust responsibility to Indian tribes.

It is time for the Federal Government to start taking its commitments and obligations to tribal nations seriously.

Now that you know that it wasn't done properly, can you commit to making sure that it will be done properly?

Acting Director Pendley, the BLM has an obligation under The Federal Land Policy and Management Act FLPMA to 'give priority to the designation and protection of areas of critical environmental concern.'

I put more faith in the voices of the experts.

I am clarifying with this letter that no consultations were made for the BLM, specifically.

It is very clear that the energy part is what is important to you, and not the voices of the people.

I urge you to encourage deployment of smart meters and other technologies which make our electric grid more responsive and capable of supporting distributed energy resources.

Silencing civil servants, stifling science, squandering taxpayer money and spurning communities in the face of imminent danger have never made America great.

Alaska needs the help of a fully engaged federal government. Washington cannot turn its back.

Removing a civil servant from his area of expertise and putting him in a job where he's not needed... is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars.

I filed the complaint because the Trump administration clearly retaliated against me for raising awareness of this danger.

These are dark times for science, the abuses have been taken to an extreme.

This is a betrayal of the public trust.

They broke it, they broke the agency.

I am working with several of my colleagues on legislation to set a nationwide goal of 100 percent clean energy economy by 2050.

I urge the committee to support this bill that would allow Medicaid reimbursements for doulas and midwives to combat maternal mortality among the nearly two million on Medicaid giving birth each year.
